"Balcombe Field Discovery - post test analysis of 7-day well test suggests high probability continuous oil with a low watercut can be produced
The Balcombe Field Discovery is considered to be in the 'sweet spot' of England's Weald Basin given the 568 metre thickness and highest maturity of the Kimmeridge Layers.
On 2 October 2018 the Company announced the results of the completed horizontal well test of the Balcombe-2Z's Kimmeridge Layer as having naturally flowed at 853 bopd equivalent, not including 22.5% water. A second flow period was undertaken with the well flowing naturally at 1,587 bopd equivalent, not including 6.6% water."
And this is what the funding is for:
"Therefore, the Company believes that continuous oil with a low watercut can be produced from the Balcombe-2Z well under normal pumped production conditions and it now plans to demonstrate commercial oil production. The Facility will provide the funding to support near-term planning and testing as well as a successive Field Development Plan (FDP) submission."
